Vintage Flavour

Gretsch have opted for understated aesthetics for the Jet BT, with a distinctly retro twang. Soft curves, sharp chrome hardware and their iconic logo all paint a unique picture that's undeniably Gretsch.

No Frills

A chambered mahogany body & mahogany neck combination provides a balanced, clear sound that'll resonate with brilliant warmth, and the black walnut fingerboard will give you ultra-smooth playability.

The stylish 'V' stoptail tailpiece provides sturdy tuning stability and classy looks in equal measure. This guitar is also dual-loaded with Black Top Broad’Tron pickups, delivering a responsive but crispy vintage tone that'll cut through any mix. Don't afraid to whack it - it'll respond in kind!

The G5220 Electromatic Jet BT is available in three finishes: dark cherry metallic, black, and casino gold.

Here's what Gretsch say about the Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT:

Still early days, but possibly my best guitar purchase to date. Already thinking I would pick up my Gretsch before my Gibson or Fender. 1st Gretsch, but probably not the last.

Opened the box it came in and woah, absolutely gorgeous guitar. When it arrived I changed the strings to my preferred set, did a quick adjustment of the truss rod and lowered the action to how I like it. Plays like a dream with a lovely sound. Will keep me happy for many a decade to come. Can't believe the quality for this price. Thank you Andertons.

Only had the guitar a couple of weeks so early impressions. This is a fantastic value. The guitar was well set up out of the box and plays well after a string change to my preferred gauges. For the money the build quality and finish are excellent. Being a chambered body the guitar is much lighter than you would first imagine - a huge bonus in my opinion. The G5220 is somewhere between a classic Gretsch and LP in tone, and sounds good both clean and with distortion. That makes it very flexible and I'm using it on a lot of songs.

Mr Peter Breach22nd Nov 2018

+ Amazing price + Amazing finish on the body +great pick ups/sound +amazing skinny neck - volume and tone pots are essentially pointless. Its either all on or all off. - They've stained the neck to make it look darker. The stain comes off on your fingers, and the neck looks a bit patchy (but not particularly bad) It pains me to leave - comments because this guitar is great. I would recommend this guitar for the overall look, sound and neck.
